The Prime Minister\u2019s £50 million Challenge Fund is currently improving general practitioner access for over two million patients across England. This includes offering evening and weekend appointments, as well as better use of technology, such as telehealth, to look after patients. By January, 7.5 million patients will be covered.<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
And, we have recently announced another £100 million of funding for next year to improve access for even more patients.<\/p>

Adults with care and support needs should be able to move between countries within the United Kingdom knowing that their care will continue during the move.<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
As the care and support systems in the four countries are different, we are developing principles with the Devolved Administrations to ensure continuity of care for people moving.<\/p>
<\/p>
These should be published in November.<\/p>

We are investing £450 million in earlier diagnosis of cancer, including improving direct general practitioner access to non-obstetric ultrasound to support earlier diagnosis of ovarian cancer.<\/p>

Public Health England ran a regional Be Clear on Cancer campaign early in 2014 to raise awareness of the symptoms of ovarian cancer. The findings of the pilot will be evaluated in 2015, and this evidence would inform any decision to move from a regional to national campaign.<\/p>

The impact assessments of the changes consider the effect of the speed limit change on single carriageways, and possible change on dual carriageways on actual behaviour in terms of speeds driven. They do not specifically consider drivers\u2019 perceptions of speed.<\/p>
<\/p>
One effect noted in these assessments is that there will be many fewer heavy goods vehicles breaking the higher speed limits, making targeted enforcement of any remaining infringements easier. Enforcement resources saved due to better compliance could be used for other enforcement work, including related to local road speed limits, subject to local policing decisions.<\/p>
<\/p>
With regard to the conduct of vocational drivers in relation to their driving licences, the intention is to view breaking the higher speed limits as a higher risk factor than the current infringements. The senior traffic commissioner plans to consult on revised guidance during the coming months.<\/p>
